The Modern St. Anthony By Fanny B. Ames

"Who loves home and friends for my name's sake Finds life that neither foe nor time can take!" So spoke the ancient Voice.

By spirit's ear the spirit's sense is heard; And souls that caught but half that mystic word Fled far from houses of men, —

To list in cell, or cave, or desert wild, The whisper sweet "Well done; thou art my child!" That bids the heart rejoice.

Fair legend tells how one who bore the name of Antony left all and wandered till he came Where wild beasts make their den

Alone he fought the fiends that ever would Beguile the souls that follow after Good, And kept his faith intact
